0:01
kicks.com and today we're going to
0:03
quickly learn how to authenticate the
0:05
Air Jordan One Union uh Chicago Edition
0:08
and the shoe dropped a couple of a few
0:10
days ago and you know he's already
0:12
fetching them astronomical prices on
0:14
third party marketplaces so you know but
0:16
leers were going to try to replicate
0:18
this so I was looking at this uh online
0:20
review codeview of sneaker Guru
0:22
authentication so I went ahead and took
0:24
some screenshot and took out uh some of
0:26
the most important things that you need
0:27
to look at all right so let's get to
0:29
that so the first thing you want to look
0:30
at is this like when you look at the
0:31
shoe right off the bat the first that
0:33
give away is just uh the tool right if
0:36
you look I'm going to show you closer
0:38
picture if you look closely on the
0:40
authentic pair the toe is like white on
0:42
the fake one it's like a little brown
0:44
it's almost like 10 it's almost like
0:46
dirty all right and if you also look at
0:48
the tongue and uh the tongue uh um if
0:52
you look at this um portion of it is
0:54
stitching it's Carina blue on the
0:56
authentic on the fake one I'm not sure
0:59
the blue is like not really deep it's
1:01
almost like faded a little bit okay let
1:03
me minimize this picture you going to
1:04
see it I'll show you closer picture and
1:06
you going to see that okay but the first
1:08
thing you want to look at is the toe I'm
1:10
going to show you closer look at the toe
1:11
and you see it you see on the authentic
1:13
again it's white completely white on the
1:16
fake one it's like uh 10ed with a little
1:19
brown on top of it and if you look at
1:21
the edges here on the ice St I also
1:23
wanted to point that out on the
1:25
authentic uh it's not as thick as it is
1:27
on the fake one the fake one is really
1:28
stacked almost like double double
1:30
stacked on the fake one you see on the
1:32
edges here all right next thing we going
1:34
to look at is the back we're going to
1:36
look at the back here now if you look at
1:38
it back again the stitching is totally
1:39
different on the authentic the zigzags
1:42
between them the spacing a little wider
1:44
they extend a little higher and they
1:45
again of a different color of Carolina
1:48
blue it's like a do deeper than the fake
1:50
one and the fake one here you can see
1:52
how the stitching is not as wide the
1:54
zigzag not as wide between them and also
1:57
I want you to look at the the heel here
2:00
on the liner here okay it's really thick
2:02
on the fake on really thick even on on
2:05
these edges here look at the edge here I
2:07
want to show you here see on the
2:09
authentic you don't really see that it's
2:11
really thick on the fake ones and if you
2:13
look at the the heel I put one here for
2:16
a purpose now this is like black and
2:18
this is like ashy looking and you also
2:20
look at the the ankle liner is much
2:22
thicker on the fake one that it is on
2:24
the authentic and again if you look at
2:26
the red arrow here look at this lining
2:28
here the lining here
2:30
right is much thicker on the fake one
2:33
and if you also look at the gray color
2:35
which we're going to see in another
2:36
picture the gray is not the same between
2:38
the the two pair this is almost like a
2:39
little more glossy and he has a
2:41
different it's not uh this is not a cool
2:43
gray it's a different kind of gray I'm
2:45
not sure what it gray is but it's not
2:46
it's not the same now next thing we
2:48
going to look at again is the we're
2:49
going to look at the tongue if you look
2:50
at the tongue here right if you look at
2:53
the tongue is much thicker on the fake
2:56
one than these on the authentic look the
2:58
foam here is really thick thick which
3:00
means a thick layer of 4 minut it's is
3:03
interesting right you would think that
3:04
the authentic will have that but that's
3:06
not the case and if you look at the gap
3:07
between the fold here the is much wide
3:11
slightly wider on the fake ones and
3:14
again if you look at the stitching here
3:16
the color is not the same the Carolina
3:18
blue is a little deeper than it is on
3:20
the fake one all right next thing we
3:23
going to look at uh is going to be the
3:25
sides if you look at the sides here look
3:28
at that again a lot of things here look
3:30
at the the stitching again the stitching
3:32
here is on the authentic the zigzags are
3:35
like a little higher okay and the color
3:39
is a little deeper than it is on the
3:42
fake one that's the first thing so f f
3:44
focus on the red arrow and if you look
3:46
at the gray on the ankle strap here and
3:48
the gray color is not the same now you
3:50
can tell that this gray here makes this
3:52
uh wings logo pop out more on the on the
3:55
fake ones right you can look at the gray
3:57
the gray is certainly not the same
3:58
that's something that you want look at
4:00
and if you look at the the top of the
4:03
anchor here again this is black and this
4:05
is like grayish looking and the other
4:07
thing that I want to show you is the you
4:10
um the the sticker the the U unla uh
4:14
sticker okay it's almost like tucked
4:16
under the ankle strap on the fake one
4:18
and on the authentic is much you see the
4:20
U clearly you see the l n and La more
4:23
clearly so the next thing you going to
4:25
look at again is going to be the outso
4:28
if you look at the outso the red here is
4:31
much vibrant on the authentic than it is
4:33
on the fake one this is just something
4:35
that you want to again if you see right
4:37
of the P it's hard like if you if you
4:40
don't have an au P next to you you won't
4:41
be the but here we clearly see that all
4:43
right next thing we going to look at is
4:46
going to be the insults and if you look
4:47
at the insults they're totally different
4:50
right on the authentic here see the
4:52
prints are like more v v Vivid this they
4:56
almost faded on the on the fake one and
4:58
the color of the insult actually is not
5:00
even the same this is the graphics are a
5:02
little more faded on the the fake one
5:04
than they are on the authentic okay you
5:06
can pause and just look at it yourself
5:08
and you can clearly see the differences
5:10
the next you going to look at now is the
5:11
packaging so the Box the Box first of
5:14
all the sizing is a size 12 the sizes
5:16
are different but if you look at the
5:18
graphics here on the authentic they are
5:20
they are a little more faded and subtle
5:22
on the authentic you see these are more
5:24
faded but on the fake ones they are
5:26
really really like popping out and if
5:28
you look again at some of the cph
5:30
they incomplete on the on the fake one
5:32
you can't see the bottom of the Jordan
5:34
okay and here you don't even see the
5:36
shoe that he's wearing and and it's just
5:39
things like that that you want to look
5:41
for okay but the box is not the box is
5:43
just uh the icing and the cake you want
5:46
to look at the shoe itself now if you
5:47
look at the Box again the 1985 a one
5:51
writing is bolder on the fake one and it
5:54
is on the authentic and the gap between
5:56
the stick uh the label and the writing
5:58
the the Nike logo is again wider on the
6:01
authentic than it is on the fake other
6:03
thing that I want to show you oh
6:05
actually I didn't show you uh this one
6:08
let's get to that the rings on the boxes
6:10
okay this is like glossy on the fake one
6:12
and on the authentic is like M Matic
6:15
okay and the other thing I want to show
6:18
you also is the black light test if you
6:20
look at the black light um you can look
6:23
at uh the stitching here glows on the
6:25
authentic it does not glow on the fake
6:27
ones so this is pretty much it guys so
6:30
if you want to buy the authentic prayer
